Why Choose Hacienda Doka Honey Process Coffee?
Honey Processed Excellence
Our honey process technique—where the coffee beans are dried with part of the fruit's mucilage still attached—produces a cup that balances the fruity brightness of natural coffees with the clarity of washed beans. The result is a smooth, sweet, and complex profile, rich in body and gentle in acidity.
Volcanic Soil Influence
Grown in the fertile volcanic soils near Poás Volcano, the beans benefit from mineral-rich earth that enhances flavor development. This unique environment imparts a distinctive depth and clean finish to every cup.
Perfect Medium Roast
Our roast masters carefully develop each batch to a medium roast level, highlighting the honey process's inherent sweetness and complexity while maintaining an inviting balance between body and brightness.

Greetings from Hacienda Doka,
Thank you for your wonderful video and kind words! We're thrilled to know how much you love our coffee.
This is my first honey processed coffee and I enjoyed it. It is brighter and less acidic than other DOKA coffees and is a refreshing afternoon relaxation cup.
I gifted close friends with this coffee and they thought it was a spectacular experience, starting the day with just one cup of this wonderful coffee was the only way to start a day.
I have been buying from Doka for a long time now. I have enjoyed everything I bought online, although nothing compares to getting it in person. The honey process coffee is unlike any other coffee I have had, in a good way! Very good!
I love you Peaberry Coffee and have been ordering it for a few years. Now I'm ready to try your specialty coffees, so i decided to start out with this one
I had a small issue with one pack of AA Peaberry and the customer service I received was above and beyond exceptional. Thank you for outstanding coffee and personnel who go the extra mile to ensure their customers are satisfied. You're the best!

Hi Gary,
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're really happy to hear that our team was able to help and that you’re enjoying the coffee.
Warm regards,
The Hacienda Doka Honey Process coffee I received has very little of the jammy fermented flavors that I associate with honey process beans, so I'm very disappointed. It's better than the Britt that's available in any Costa Rican grocery store, but not as good as any of the half-dozen or more bags of other coffee I brought back home from various tourist traps. I'd also prefer if it wasn't roasted so darkly; perhaps a light roast would retain the fermented fruit flavors I was expecting.

Hi Tom,
Thank you for your honest feedback. We're sorry to hear the Honey Process coffee didn’t match your expectations.
Your suggestion about a lighter roast is a great one—we’ll definitely pass it along to our roasting team.

What Makes Honey Process Coffee
Special?
The honey process is a meticulous method that bridges the gap between washed and natural coffees. During this process, some of the sticky mucilage (resembling honey) is left on the bean during drying. This enhances sweetness and body while preserving the coffee's natural clarity. Coffee lovers prize honey-processed beans for their vibrant, syrupy cup and unique flavor complexity.
